Ayelet is mostly correct in her response to you. There are indeed very lacking in Light forces and beings out there (including entire groups and levels of this), but ultimately they are not as truly powerful as the Light attuned forces, groups, individuals. However, this doesn't mean that they aren't strong in their own way. Some of these have very honed and strong willpower and cleverness. And the more collective/group oriented ones can be harder to deal with. As one connected to a human body, sometimes it is important and helpful, to even a necessity, to call on and ask for help from the purely Creative/Light attuned forces in help in dealing with such beings.
I've had to deal with these kinds of beings and groups, and there are two things that I do in concert. I feel love and compassion towards them (they don't know how to deal with this, it is repulsive to them--they in a sense feed off fear), and I ask the purely Creative/Love/Light attuned forces to help/guide/strengthen/protect me.
My partner had a very intense dream which illustrates all the above quite well. She was viewing a young girl in relation to a school setting. The girl was stuck (she had died at the school and rather than move on to where she belonged at a deeper level, she stayed stuck in relation to the earthly/physical).
As my partner was observing the situation, she noticed something different from her normal retrieval experience. There was a dark being that was messing with the girl. It was basically putting the girl through a Freddy Kruger type experience, making her perceive all these very dark and disturbing perceptions. Toying with and torturing her, feeding off her fear like a parasite getting bloated on blood.
My partner got incensed while observing this and like the Aries Moon that she is, she rushed in to help the girl without any thinking or planning. The dark being became aware of her and her intentions, and started to direct its focus to my partner and started to like zap her with its extremely negative and lacking in light energy. It became so overwhelmingly intense that she couldn't deal with it and couldn't do anything but curl up in a fetal position being in pain. It treated my partner, who is a strong willed, older soul type, like a rag doll.
During this, she remembered a conversation that she and I had had in the physical, where I mentioned that while we are protected and have Light attuned forces that can help us, often times it is important and necessary to specifically ask for their help because they greatly respect others freewill and the freewill process.
After remembering that conversation and what I had said, she asked the Creative Forces for help and immediately a number of Light beings appeared and put like a shield around the lacking in light being, and got her and the girl out of there.
She woke with her body feeling echoes of that pain of her energy body being zapped with that intense negativity. This was no mere dream. It was a remembrance of an event that happened in the nonphysical dimensions. Most likely her Expanded self and/or Guidance forces in general, helped to set up the situation to begin with, as a learning/teaching experience.
She realized two things from the dream. That she should have set up a REBAL (like an energy shield) around her before going in, and two, she should have connected to and asked for help from the Creative Forces first. Lesson learned and learned the hard way (as often is the case for such a Fixed type personality as she is).
Alcohol and certain drugs can weaken our energy field and allow us to become more influenced by negative beings. If partaking in such substances, it is always best to set up a REBAL type shielding and/or ask for help/protection. A little, mild buzz is ok and doesn't require this, but drunk drunk does.
Negative beings will hang around humans and wait for them to get into more vulnerable states, so that they can influence them. This is particularly bad in the case of alcoholics and drug addicts. They often are surrounded by such beings. When a person experiences a black out, this means that they have been fully possessed which is the ultimate high and desire for these dark, psychopathic beings.
Normally, in most cases, it is more of a subtle influencing, like them nonphysically whispering softly into your ears/psyche/subconscious various distortions, lies, misleading half truths, etc. And most people can't be influenced too much, too much of the time.
But these dark beings love when you completely lose control of self so they can come in and take the reigns completely, if only temporarily. If one is prone to blackouts whatsoever, best to completely avoid the alcohol or drugs that lead to same.
Btw, there are two main classes of dark beings. There are those who had former experiences of being human, and likely were socio to psychopathic when they were incarnated as a human, and then there are those who are ET and haven't directly had a human experience.
The former tend to be easier to deal with/handle than the latter, because the latter tends to be much more group/collective oriented. If you have an entire species or group focusing on you collectively to try to bring you down, as a human, this can be very hard to deal with, and this is when you want/need to bring in the big guns like Arch-Angel Michael and the collective that he works with.
There is a particular ET group that has LONG been involved with earth/humans and that is very negative and wants to see us either become like them, or to eventually eradicate us to take our planet for their own. We are protected from direct, physical, overt harm from this negative group by collective of positive ET's and nonphysical forces that keep tabs on this group and watch out for us. The collective of positive ET groups have told the negative group that if they attack humans before we have a fighting chance, there will be severe consequences for them.
However, they are allowed to interact and meddle in other, more subtle, psychic, and energetic type ways meanwhile.
